Howdy to everyone, I wonder if anyone actually reads these things. We should set up a system where u buddy up/pair up with a house mate from another country - this will make sure that you will read at least 1 other persons blog! (And its always nice to meet people!)
Anywayz, things in South Africa are good. The weather is changing, the crime is buzzing, the health Minister is dying (*yay*) and life goes on for The Moishe house of South Africa. The German land lady still hasnt fixed the gate, our internet is back up and our maid still comes in for half a day every week cleaning the shit that we drop into the toilet bowl. The mystery continues- the smell in my room (which I share with Daniel B) continues and we are still not sure where it is coming from...a single item or from a general tipping point having been reached.Hoe hum.
So the theme of this months blog is to do with...someone. A person or individual who you appreciate or you hang around with etc.Hmmm.....well I will devote this to Justin van Zyl, who has been one of the pieces of furniture in the background as a regular house rat. He eats our food, sleeps on our floor and generally blends into the background like a warm painting who sleeps too much.
I write this memorial blog because sadly he has left us, very soon he will be gone. Lost ....for the next 6 months as he goes to Johannesburg to live with significant other as he attempts to inject some vitality into habonim in JHB. I wish him well and I hope that has ha a great time, his nick name Nabazela, says it all... he really is a great guy.
Now a rant before I end off: I saw on some Moishe house blog site some1 advertised something from the Anti-Defemation League of America to do with Rosenfeld's latest rant slandering Jews with a moral consciouse. He attempts to deligitimise their moral voice by alginging them with anti-zionists who do not recognise Israels right to exist and who, due to their unfit metaphors linking Nazi's with Israel, cause the 'new antisemitism'. All Rosenfeld exposes is his own inability to quote acurately from 'anti-zionist' books. For more info on this check out: http://www.zeek.net/704debate/
Viva debate Viva!
